Situation at Sri Lanka Cricket fell into further turmoil this morning as Sri Lanka Chief selector Sanath Jayasuriya has resigned with immediate effect from the panel appointed by Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) Executive Committee to pick the next national coach.

Jayasuriya refused to comment on the reasons for his decision, but confirmed that he has sent his letter of resignation by email to SLC President Jayantha Dharmadasa and Secretary Nishantha Ranatunga.

Sources added that Jayasuriya has been forced to resign due to external pressure not allowing him to carry out his job in a neutral manner in picking the best candidate.
